Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use the base form of the verb after the auxiliary verb "did". The correct construction is "did not make", not "did not made".
Common error
Avoid using the past participle form of the verb (e.g., "made") after "did not". The auxiliary verb "did" already indicates the past tense, so the base form of the verb (e.g., "make") should be used.
